Dollar today, August 13, 2025: this is how it trades against the Mexican peso

The Mexican peso started Wednesday on a strong note in the foreign exchange markets, breaking through the $18.60 barrier and trading at $18.58 per dollar, according to data from the Bank of Mexico (Banxico). This recovery comes after a slight drop in the week, when the exchange rate remained above $18.60.

The rise of the national currency did not go unnoticed by analysts and traders, who point out that recent inflation data in the United States and diplomatic movements in international trade were key to this result.

If you plan to exchange dollars, these are the reference prices at the teller windows on August 13:

• Affirm: $17.80 buy – $19.30 sell
• Banco Azteca: $17.45 buy – $19.09 sell
• Banorte: $17.40 purchase – $18.95 sale
• BBVA: $17.73 buy – $18.87 sell
• Citibanamex: $18.02 buy – $19.05 sell

Tuesday's session saw two pieces of news that strengthened the peso:

1. Inflation remains stable in the United States: July data showed inflation remained unchanged and below expectations, raising expectations that the Federal Reserve (Fed) could maintain or moderate its interest rate adjustments.
2. US-China trade truce extended: President Donald Trump confirmed that the agreement reached in May will be extended for an additional 90 days, allaying market concerns about a possible rupture.

According to Jorge Gordillo Arias, director of Economic and Stock Market Analysis at CIBanco, these factors reduce pressure on the dollar and allow investors to invest in emerging currencies like the peso.

Analysts agree that the exchange rate could maintain a degree of stability if there are no economic surprises in the United States or sharp fluctuations in commodity prices. However, they warn that the Fed's decisions in September will be the real turning point.

Meanwhile, for those buying or selling dollars, this Wednesday offers an attractive opportunity to take advantage of the peso's strength.
